IntroductionAdult resuscitation is a very important part of any paramedic's job, especially because it involves a person's life. All Australian ambulance services follow clinical practice guidelines based on the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. The Queensland Ambulance Service guidelines will have a resuscitation element to analyze, namely compressions, and this will be reviewed and compared to the European Resuscitation Council. The reason it will be compared to the European Resuscitation Council is that Europe has very high standards and has many countries in the top 30 health systems, such as France and Italy (). Many elements come into play when it comes to compressions, including recognition of compressions, frequency, depth, interruptions, hand placement, quality of CPR, and risks associated with CPR.Compressions compression element is a very important element. is part of CPR because it allows a greater chance that defibrillation will work as intended (). Compressions are better than no compressions even if they do not meet the high standards of medical professionals, but the preference is the best possible (). The reason is that this gives the defibrillator more time to do its job and allows blood to reach the brain. The compressions element of resuscitation is important regardless of location and can mean the difference between life and death. Recognition of CPRAccording to the guidelines, determining whether the patient requires CPR should be the first step. The guidelines state that if the patient is unresponsive and not breathing normally, they should be resuscitated (). In the past, checking the pulse was also necessary...... middle of paper ...... compressions are created according to the best methods using credible evidence. The European Resuscitation Guidelines are based on significant evidence and are considered one of the most recent resuscitation practice guidelines. Although there are minor differences between the ambulance service and European resuscitation guidelines, it is more of a personal choice. For example, the beats per minute are the same, but the European resuscitation guidelines specifically state that it should not exceed 120 beats per minute, while the Queensland Ambulance Service states that there is no no sufficient evidence that 120 beats per minute is better than 100 beats per minute. In a typical cardiac arrest, basic compressions would be treated in the same way and therefore the Queensland Ambulance Service provides the best adult resuscitation available based on current evidence..
